GIRLS! MAKE A
BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS
THE United .States deiiartineiit of agriculture an
nounces that, with the world facing a bread shortage
the United .States will this year produce only enough
wheat for its own consumption, "unless it cuts its present
consumption." And the allies require from us approxi
mately :100,(XX),000 bushels.
It lies with the individual family to save, the situation,
and salvation lies in those words above quoted "unless it
cuts its present consumption."
The substitute for wheat is corn, America's big crop,
the only cereal crop in which she leads all the world. And,
in many sections of the country, it is still not too late to
plant corn, the Almighty having provided a spring season
which is called "backward."
The American citizen is "backward" who has not yet
got the conviction into his system that this war is to be
fought with bread quite as much as with bullets. IJeally,
upon our ability to turn from wheat to corn depends one
of our greatest war measures. It is a war measure that
can be promoted by every person in this country who eats
man, woman and child, those who can't carry a gun, or
pay income taxes, join the Hod Cross, or lift a hand for
smiting purposes in any way. It is opportunity for patri
otic war service in which there's no such thing as inca
pacity. .Studying corn meal and white wheat flour, we find that
the former is the cheaper and the more nutritious. For
these reasons, in a large part of the south corn has long
since supplanted wheat for bread.
But such a change, like most changes, depends for suc
cess upon system and organization, when the change is to
be made to meet an emergency.
We are a peculiar people. Individually, we roar and
kick over outrages upon us. Collectively, we submit.
Knowing the power of organization and system under
autocracy, the German autocrats smile over possibility of
organization and systematization in our democracy. That
America could or would engage in revolution in tho matter
of eating, for war or any other purpose, is beyond their
beJiet and is something they have not calculated upon in
resorting to their policy of unrestricted starvation.
lo take to corn bread is a big war necessity, as evi
denced by the food situation and advised bv our govern
ment. Proof of the emergency being strong and 7)lain. ac
tion along systematic and organized lines is demanded.
CONCERNING THE LIBERTY LOAN
tioiuil, will remain a desirability and
not u fiiot.
The United Slates mut become
thut power.
In the interest of the rest of the
world nml of the neutral states in
Europe, the United States must be
come the ono great non-Kuropeun
power which must he consulted upon
every internationtil decision of the
slightest consequence. The duty of
the United States, therefore, in the
defense of international HrM, in the
interest of international organization
nt the close of the war, is the prose
cution of the war in real earnest, and
the organization of this country's po
tential force in such fashion that it
can never again thiukahly be disre
garded. The part we play in the war will
more than any other one thing decide
the relationship of the United States
to Kurope in the future. Upon the
reality of our international status,
moreover, will depend the character
of the new international government,
which will certainly he formed at the
close of this war. If at the end of
it tht- really great forces in the world
are all Kuropeun, that government
will not be truly international. f at
the end of it the United States shall
have achieved an actual equality in
organization with the greatest pow
ers of Europe, international organ
ization will bo a fact, congress or no
congress, theories or no theories,
cwles or no codes.
Kacts are facts, and we have it
now in our power to make a new in
ternational fact. We may rejoice
that in achieving this fact we Khali
achieve it literally more in tho inter
chip of others tlmn in our own.

ConoTCHS has voted the monev. Hut the mere vote un
happily does not supply the money. This can be supplied
only by the people of the United States. And they can
supply it only by subscribing to the liberty loan.
If the loan fails, if the richest country "in the world has
the disgrace of failing where England and France and
Austria and Cermany have so abundantly succeeded, if the

this war, there will be something more serious than a de
feat for our allies. 1 1 will be a defeat for us, too. It will
mean a loss both of our liberty and of our ability to lend.
For a. victorious Germany would make of us a subject
nation as it would of a conquered France and a conquered
England.
And then all of us, instead of advancing monev to our
own government and receiving in return a bond that was
a good investment and that paid a good rate of interest,
would have to turn over to German indemnity collectors all
of our savings and a large part of our earnings lost to us
forever. Because, depend upon it, if we lose this war, Ger
many is going to make us United States people pay to
the nail. She will do this because we are the richest na
tion on earth and when she is through with us we may be
one of the poorest on earth in readv cash.
That's why this loan is one for liberty for our liberty

DUBLIN',' May 22. The proposed
convention is warmly welcomed by
almost all sections of the national
ists. Mr. Redmond's speech accu
rately represents the view of his Mip
porters in the Irish party. The con
stitutional nationalists, who tire now
opposed to that party anil who have
marked their temporary dissatisfac
tion by voting for Sinn rein candi
dates, are equally in favor of the
convention.
Count I'lunkett and other extrem
ists repudiate the convention as a
.trap, but there is renson to believe
that the Sinn Fein leaders now in jail
disapprove of their conduct on the
movement so that they do not rep
resent the real body of extremists.
The unionists express delight at the
convention. They are strontrly op
posed it) the partition of p'eland.
which would isolate them, and are
anxious for any opportunity to make
clnimsVfor special treatment, which
never so far have been definitely
formulated.
The real crux of the situation is
to bo found in northeast Ulster. The
Orange newspapers there have been
extremely hostile to the idea of any
convention to shn()e a constitution
for Ireland; they declare themselves
quite contented with government from
Westminster. Hut Sir John Lons
dale's speech in the house of com
mons is regarded in nationalist cir
cles as being more hopeful, unu" it is
contended that if northeast Ulster
rejects the convention the govern
ment can hardly allow it lo hold up
all home rule attempts.
If Ulster eiders the convention,
which is considered in well-informed
circles its doubtful, it is probable
thai terms could be arranged to meet
its fears and thus render a continu
ance of irreconcilable opposition untenable.

before his departure tomorrow for
Sonora. he said Mexico's self-respect
called for this policy. Even If Mexico
joined tho war, he said, she could give
no effective aid.
General Obregon Indicated that
benefits which might acrue to Mex

tho other were appreciated clearly but
aid It did not seem to him to be com
patible with the dignity of the nation
to accept such benefits when all that
Mexico could glvo In return was, as he
expressed it, "our regards."
